1 Monitor G-CSF Study Treatment patterns and outcomes in the prophylaxis of chemotherapy induced neutropenia with biosimilar filgrastim (Zarzio ) Heinz Ludwig Wilhelminen Cancer Research Institute c/o I Medizinische Abteilung, Zentrum für Onkologe und Hämatologie Wilhelminenspital, Vienna, Austria Pere Gascón, Matti Aapro, Carsten Bokemeyer, Mario Boccadoro, Matthew Turner, Kris Denhaerynck, Karen MacDonald, Ivo Abraham

2 Monitor G-CSF: A large prospective survey Goals Assess real-world treatment patterns, outcomes, and associated determinants of Zarzio prophylaxis for chemotherapy-induced FN Assess congruence of clinical practice with recommended guidelines Patients With solid tumors and hematologic malignancies receiving myelosuppressive chemotherapy Methods Observational study with follow up for up to 6 months Participants patients, 140 centers in 12 countries

3 No. of patients Patients 1496 patients were enrolled; evaluable sample n= % female (61.2%) ; median age 62 years; median BMI 25.7kg/m % had solid tumor, mainly breast (32.2%) or lung (23.8%) cancer Breast Lung Ovarian Prostate Bladder Lymphoma Multiple myeloma

4 low (<10%) medium (10-20%) high (>20%) Risk of FN Chemotherapy-related risk for FN

24 Summary Primary G-CSF in real world clinical practice 72.3% of patients received primary G-CSF prophylaxis Correct in 55.3% Over-prophylacted in 27.7% Under-prophylacted in 17.0% Initiation of primary G-CSF prophylaxis was correct in 53.2% too early in 13.4% too late in 33.4% CIN (grade 4) episodes: 13.2% FN episodes: 5.9% CIN/FN related hospitalisations 6.1% CIN/FN related chemotherapy disturbancies:9.5%

25 Summary Primary G-CSF in real world clinical practice Delayed initiation of primary G-CSF prophylaxis (<72 hrs) increases risk for CIN and FN Secondary prophylaxis is associated with higher risk for CIN and FN and chemotherapy delay or other disturbances These data comfirm the importance of congruence with EORTC guidelines, paricularly regarding initiation of therapy wihin 72 hours
